AirDrop and Quick Share Flaws Let Nearby Attackers Trigger Crashes and Bypass Checks

Researchers have identified six security flaws in AirDrop and Quick Share, wireless file-sharing features used on Apple and Samsung devices. These vulnerabilities allow an attacker within range to trigger crashes, bypass security checks, and potentially disrupt sharing services. While the risks are localized, the potential impact is significant given the widespread use of these features, and fixes are being rolled out by Apple and Google.
